Welcome to Whispering Waters Estate, an enchanting property featuring sweeping Grandfather Mountain views and over 1,500 feet of river frontage along the Watauga River. Nestled on meticulously landscaped grounds spanning over eight acres, this estate comprises several distinctive structures: the Primary Residence, the restored Shulls General Store, and the original Shulls family homeplace. Originally the core of the Historic Shulls Mill community, this versatile estate has also served as a horse farm and a picturesque wedding venue. The main residence, a mid-century modern was designed by renowned architect Gilbert Spindel in 1972. The design features three bedrooms, two-and-a half baths, a spacious great room with a custom fireplace with slate floor, a kitchen, office and music room. The layout centers around an 18ft tall dining room with transom windows and yet another slate floor. The Shulls General Store, circa 1860 has been restored, featuring original wide plank floors and feather board siding. It includes a kitchen, full bath, a guest suite upstairs, and an additional two baths downstairs for the convenience of guests. Adjacent to the store is a transformed six-bay horse barn renovated in 2018 into a 1700 sf event venue with brick paver floors, elegant chandeliers and vintage sconces. Dating back to 1850, the third structure is the original Shulls family home, repurposed over the years as a garden house with two stalls. Follow the evergreen allee/promenade to the riverfront, with breathtaking views of Grandfather Mountain. This property invites creativity, ideal for uses ranging from a private estate to a restaurant conversion, hunting/fishing club or special events. The river frontage is currently leased for fly fishing. Whispering Waters is a property that must be seen to be fully appreciated, showcasing unique architecture, thoughtful design, and limitless possibilities. 2 hours from Charlotte and Greensboro airport.
